Former Ozerov Group Members

Dan Graham

 

Dan Graham (Brandeis Class of 2010) joined the Ozerov group in June of 2007. Dan made notable improvements to the synthesis of the F-substituted PNP ligand and explored the reactivity of Pd-Pd dimers with small molecules. He discovered unusual reactions taking place with dioxygen and carbon dioxide, in the context of CCI Solar research. Dan won a Schiff Fellowship for the 2008/09 academic year that allowed him to travel to a series of scientific meetings. At the end of 2008, when the Ozerov group relocated to Texas, Dan switched to the Thomas group at Brandeis.
